In the Name of the Father (1993)
The true saga of Gerry Conlon, a petty thief in 70s Belfast, who's imprisoned along with his friends and family accused of being part of a vicious IRA cell. It's harrowing and powerful, and all the more compelling for the fact it actually happened.
Doors, The (1991)- Hypnotic film biography of legendary Doors frontman Jim Morrison. Charts the meteoric rise of the Doors, chronicles the band's use of hallucinogenics, and Morrison's public indecency charges on stage. Near perfect performances.
Groundhog Day (1993)
A cynical TV weatherman is sent to small–town Punxsutawney to cover the annual Groundhog Day festivities. Unable to leave, due to a giant blizzard, which he failed to predict, he falls into a time warp. A worthwhile romantic–comedy.
Pretty Woman (1990)
Deserves 5 Stars for it's misrepresentation of prostitution. Hollywood whore meets millionaire businessman, they fall in love, and live happily ever after. Complete insanity.
Dirty Dancing (1987)
- While vacationing with her parents, a naive Baby takes dance lessons with the spunky, free–spirited, hotel dance instructor Johnny. One of the better teen romances to come out of the 80's – and makes the 1960's actually look like fun.
Ghost (1990)- After being murdered in a mugging gone wrong, a man's love is so great for his partner it enables him to remain on earth as a ghost. Most steamy scene ever filmed between woman and ghost! Whoopi stole the show though.
Dead Poet's Society (1989)- Story of a radical English teacher who doesn't fit into the conservative boarding school where he teaches, but his charisma and love of poetry inspires several boys to revive a secret society with a bohemian bent. Memorable tear–jerker.
- DVD
$20$15 
Madonna Truth Or Dare (In Bed With Madonna) (1991)- A very carefully controlled documentary of Madonna's 1990 Blonde Ambition Tour, although more revealing for what it does show than doesn't. Ever so self–absorbed and self–loving, but still an entertaining watch at the time.
Without You I'm Nothing (1990)- Sandra Bernhard on stage, at her best, delivers a truckload of comic monologues and pop–star parodies. Her intent is quite obviously not just about getting an audience to laugh, but also to think and squirm. Incisively funny.
Rapture, The (1991)- LA telephone operater, Sharon, ex–sinner extraordinaire, and driven by tragedy converts to a fanatical fundamental Christian sect and journeys to the desert with her young daughter to await the end of the world. Strangely absorbing watch.
